FOXBORO, Mass. — Is it a coincidence that Danny Amendola‘s first week of practice with full participation is coming with a mustache above his upper lip? Maybe, maybe not.

The Patriots receiver is growing the facial hair for Movember, which encourages the growing of mustaches to raise awareness for men’s health issues, including prostate cancer. Matthew Slater and Nate Solder are also participating.

It would be unfair for Rob Ninkovich to compete. Ninkovich has been growing his impressive beard since training camp. Amendola compared the defensive end’s facial hair to that of a character from an old ABC sitcom.
